Tango Nights: An Argentinian Dance Night Here in Miami

Did you know that Tango is the traditional dance of Argentina and that you can learn how to tango in our restaurant?

Is there something more appealing from the Argentinian culture than the feeling of exotic and understated sensuality? If there’s something that characterizes this country, is the fact that throughout the process of colonization and cultural growth, they managed to harness all the loving nature of their Latin roots and interwoven them with the foreign elegance of Europe. This clash of traditions is the reason why some of their most known aspects have that distinctive aura that makes it entirely different from other Latin American countries. Maybe one of the highlights of this is the traditional dance that capture the hearts of people around the globe ever since it’s birth: the Tango.

This sensual dance started as a lower class ball in Montevideo and Buenos Aires, with bodies close together in suggestive movements at a slow tempo. At the time, people were shocked by the nature of the movements and it was even banned for a short period of time. But it soon started to grow in popularity and eventually reached Paris, since there it traveled across Europe and it went from a lower class custom, to an all around dance that managed to gather people from different cultures in a 2-4 tempo. It started to become one of the main identifiable cultural exports of Argentina and soon became a tradition to form ‘milongas’, where people gather around to dance and enjoy the company of others with great live music and food.

Tango became a cultural example of Argentina and; nowadays, is one of the things that comes into people’s mind with the mere mentioning of this country. Today I will talk you about a way you’ll have to connect with this culture without taking a plane and traveling all the way down there: Cayena Miami. Located in Brickell, they make sure that more than just serving the traditional food like Asado, they bring you a different experience with their weekly events called ‘Tango Nights’.

It's humble origins led it to conquer the world with it's sensuality and passion.

Why a Traditional Argentinian Asado Is Just What You Need

When you try our high quality Argentinian meat as the main course, you'll see why the Asado is so famous.

When you are looking for something that transports you to another land, you commonly think of music, language and sometimes, you just need to try new flavors that represent another country. That’s exactly what happens to people when they reach Cayena Miami. This restaurant knows the right way to prepare one of the most representative Argentinian recipes: The Asado. Too many people think this is just grilled meat, but for argentinians, this is a process. It is a ritual of sorts that can bond people together through socialization.

The meat must be carefully cooked, investing the right amount of time on its preparation. It is more than just working with pieces of beef or pork, as it requires dedication for the pieces to be tender, juicy, and impregnated with the well-known latin taste that makes it delicious. They are made with the freshest pieces of meat, accompanied by perfect side dishes made of grilling or vegetables, which gives them the unique glossy tint that characterizes this famous plate, as every element that complements it was perfectly cooked to fit the demanding palates of the people who love these dishes. This dish is cleaned and filled with chips of scented wood, to allow the infusion of flavors through the process of cooking -this is to make sure that every piece that’s placed on top of the heat has the time to seal and lock the juices in- while slowly heating to the core, preserving the macerated tang that they place on top while preparing them. Rosemary, parsley and pepper are just a few of the different flavors that can be found of those steaks, ribs and other pieces of pork or cow that are present in the traditional Argentinian Asado.

If you want to travel to Argentina for just a few minutes, it’s time for you to visit Cayena Restaurant. They know exactly how to treat and grill every piece of meat to guarantee their customers try dishes that will make them feel they are eating something cooked right in Argentinian Pampa. Visit them to satisfy your cravings!
